Liquid fuels remain the largest source of energy consumption, driven largely by the industrial and transportation sectors. Renewables will be the primary source for new electricity generation, but natural gas, coal, and increasingly batteries will be used to help meet load and support grid reliability.

Natural gas emerged as the fuel of choice, posting the biggest gains and accounting for 45% of the rise in energy consumption. Gas demand growth was especially strong in the United States and China. Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use.
